    Ready to Roll...

    Here's another one from yesterday. I played with the levels and curves, and this was the most balanced I could seem to get it, but maybe you all have some other ideas...Oh yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the power lines, but there's a huge dam down in the canyon, so they're pretty much unavoidable, and I didn't feel like cloning them out.

    I don't know how to put this, but...I'm kind of a big deal...People know me.

    Great shot. I liked your previous ones, but I wondered what it would look like (any of your shots) with more saturated colors?! Maybe just a thought.

    Great shot,

    Re: Ready to Roll...

    This is a nice photo. The hay is nice and golden, but, as you said, the background is a bit grayish (?). You could select just the color cast area and manipulate the curves and levels then. That would be my suggestion. Or try burning/dodging, darken the area. Are you using your camera's meter to expose? That could be part of the problem. Try taking separate meter readings of the background and foreground and then average the two. That would probably give you better light. Just a suggestion. A nice comp and keep up the good work.
